The Path Forward : Using High Throughput Data and Dynamic Flux Balance Modeling to Identify Bottlenecks in the Carbon Metabolism of Industrial Microbes and Suggest Solutions to Improve Product Yield

Creator:

Hohenschuh, William

Abstract:

The economically viable production of value added fuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic feedstocks hinges on our ability to quickly and efficiently transform structural carbon molecules to end products. The sugars in lignocellulosic biomass are held primarily within cellulose and hemicellulose. Cellulose is composed primarily of glucose monomers which are quickly...

A modeling and experimental approach to understanding the bottlenecks in xylulose utilization in S. cerevisiae

Creator:

Hohenschuh, William

Abstract:

The production of fuel ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass has the potential to replace a significant portion of non-renewable transport fuels. Woody feedstocks are composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Glucose, the monomer of cellulose, is readily utilized by wild-type S. cerevisiae, but xylose, which comprises 60% of the sugar in...
